What did you do airgun related today.
- Thread starter Florida_Man
- Start date
Yesterday I did some 10m shooting with my M853 and Beeman P3
Today it is putting the folder on my BRK and inspecting the air cylider since I bought it used. Nice and dry inside! I am doing a reg rebuild while I have it apart.

Did some tuning. I really like data and would like a huma reg tester. 18 gr pellets show up in better condition then 16 gr, so I tried tuning for 18's
The hammer spring tension screw is not like one I have used before. The threads are on the piece that hold the stock to the receiver. It is incapable of "maxing out" because it will screw through the available threads then be loose behind the hammer. I had to put a little tension by pulling the cocking lever and turn it back out to catch the threads.
I was trying to max it out then count back turns to have an idea with tuning.
Its difficult to measure from the minimum HS because the screw sits inside the folding stock unit. I decided to just use calipers to record my HS settings.
From flush at the rear it takes 8 turns to get near where the rifles needs to be, so again the caliper method works a lot better.

Mounted my new Arken SH-4J on my Maverick .25 VP. It had had an Arken but...I put it on my JSAR Raptor. Now my 3 primary guns have Arken. Now to sell my Elements.

Confirmed my 40 yard zero on my Atomic with the Zulus atop. Spotted a big rat around my barn last night, placed some small, head size pieces of chalk and powdered them today after work. Hoping to get lucky tonight.

I made myself an adjustable rear rest. ..or you can possibly use as a front rest as well
I wanted more stability so i can do some long range shooting and benchrest. All the other products i saw were either much too expensive or looked flimsy.
The first thing i got was called a "Lab lift". You can find these on amazon or ali baba. They come in a variety sizes and build quality. The first one i purchased was only 17 dollars, but it didn't have a Lock on the elevation wheel, so some friends recommended the 2nd one i got that has the locking wheel
the next piece is a Linear stage table. Also found on amazon and others ...be aware of how much total height the stage is. Don't want to start with a table that is too high and are unable to adjust lower. The minimum height of both pieces is a lil less than 4 inches without the bag,
I still need to get some screws to attach the stage to the lift, but i can't find the right ones...i can always expoy it
Total cost ..minus shipping was around 100
build your own and save some cash!

I did get lucky this evening, this critter? Unlucky to cross my Atomics’ path.Upvote 0
Spent some time debating printing out my tracking info for target practice. Been waiting on sling mounts and a sling. The first sling mounts showed up the other day missing parts, return, repurchase....arriving today. The sling was in NJ the last 2 days, about 3.5 hours away from me....now it's in Dallas, TX... USPS works in mysterious ways.

Part 2...the sling mounts and swivels have arrived.....missing a different part this time. Fortunately it was a bolt for the barrel clamp, and not half the clamp like last time. I had 1 with a head too big, and too long but the right thread. Fortunately I lack in regard for my fingers with the belt sander and modified till it fit.

I shot my 10m rifle and pistol. Played around with my 2250 failing to get the PROD lower to work with it.
I installed a DonnyFL QD on my Concept Lite

Spent a bunch of time working on, and shooting a 1322. Not an expensive gun, but they sure are fun!
